My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

    Brave is very good for privacy, sync is accountless E2EE, that is best solution around, just read Mozilla Account privacy policy, that is fucking spy tool, they even share your email account to ads company when you create one, that is why LibreWolf turns it off, and if you turned it on in about:config or user.js your LibreWolf is mostly same, as Firefox now.

    I tried Brave flatpak and ended layering normal version in Silverblue. Each update will require restart, same as Firefox, so no big deal. Flatpaked versions also lack tabs isolation, and while Firefox Fission is weak anyway they can have official flatpak now, Brave tab isolation is very strong and they just won’t throw it away for flatpak.

    I only use Brave and Firefox (not LibreWolf, I use non-flatpak Firefox with betterfox user.js and I also use account sync, yeah I am not paranoid) on desktop, so can not really say anything about chromium browsers there, but all Flatpaks chromium browsers will suck. Use normal versions, try Cromium, is very good for privacy and security.
